    WHAT IS CIVIL ENGINEERING?

    Civil engineering is arguably the oldest engineering discipline. It deals with the built environment and can be dated to the first time someone placed a roof over his or her head or laid a tree trunk across a river to make it easier to get across.

    The built environment encompasses much of what defines modern civilization. Buildings and bridges are often the first constructions that come to mind, as they are the most conspicuous creations of structural engineering, one of civil engineering's major sub-disciplines. Roads, railroads, subway systems, and airports are designed by transportation engineers, another category of civil engineering. And then there are the less visible creations of civil engineers. Every time you open a water faucet, you expect water to come out, without thinking that civil engineers made it possible.

    Civil engineers do a lot more than design buildings and bridges. They can be found in the aerospace industry, designing jetliners and space stations; in the automotive industry, perfecting the load-carrying capacity of a chassis and improving the crashworthiness of bumpers and doors; and they can be found in the ship building industry, the power industry, and many other industries wherever constructed facilities are involved and they plan and oversee the construction of these facilities as construction managers.

    CIVIL ENGINEERING INTERNSHIPS IN INDIA

    Some positions offered in civil engineering internships in India are:

     

    • Interior designing intern - Interior design is the art and science of enhancing the interior of a building to achieve a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing environment for the people using the space. An interior designer is someone who plans, researches, coordinates, and manages such enhancement projects. Interior design is a multifaceted profession that includes conceptual development, space planning, site inspections, programming, research, communicating with the stakeholders of a project, construction management, and execution of the design.
    • Site supervision intern - Also known as construction site supervisors, site supervisors monitor the progress of construction projects and ensure compliance with construction safety regulations. They supervise construction workers and subcontractors, educate construction workers on site safety practices, and evaluate employee performance.
    • Site engineer intern - Site engineering is a branch of engineering concerned with the administration and quality control of construction projects. Site engineers may oversee construction projects at different stages, from design to completion. By understanding the site engineer's responsibilities and job duties, you can decide whether you want to pursue this profession. In this article, we discuss what is site engineering, understand what a site engineer does, look at the required skills and find out how to become one.
    • Hydraulic and water resource intern - Water resources engineers develop and execute plans for developing water systems that provide clean, safe water in an efficient way that is also good for the planet. They play a central role in civil and commercial construction projects that involve water distribution. They incorporate innovative and environmentally conscious strategies and principles into design planning, with water and energy conservation as top priorities. They perform environmental and technical studies and data analysis, and create reports and proposals.
    • Junior architect – Junior architects work directly under the supervision of an architect or lead designer, helping to prepare designs, complete construction documents, write up building plans and assist in the presentation of materials. A Junior Architect works under the direct supervision of an Architect or Lead Designer with the goal of eventually advancing to those higher positions after additional years of experience. Junior Architects work for architecture and engineering firms and work mostly in an office setting, although they do occasionally visit construction sites.

     

    • Project Manager - A project manager is a professional in the field of project management. Project managers have the responsibility of the planning, procurement and execution of a project, in any undertaking that has a defined scope, defined start and a defined finish; regardless of industry. Project managers are first point of contact for any issues or discrepancies arising from within the heads of various departments in an organization before the problem escalates to higher authorities, as project representative. Project management is the responsibility of a project manager. This individual seldom participates directly in the activities that produce the result, but rather strives to maintain the progress, mutual interaction and tasks of various parties in such a way that reduces the risk of overall failure, maximizes benefits, and minimizes costs.

    Airport Engineering Intern –

    The planning, design, construction, and operation and maintenance of facilities providing for the landing and takeoff, loading and unloading, servicing, maintenance, and storage of aircraft. Airport design provides for convenient passenger access, efficient aircraft operations, and conveyance of cargo and support materials. Airports provide facilities for changing transportation modes, such as people transferring from cars and buses to aircraft, cargo transferring from shipping containers to trucks, or regional aircraft supplying passengers and cargo for intercontinental aircraft. In the United States, engineers utilize standards from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), aircraft performance characteristics, cost benefit analysis, and established building codes to prepare detailed layouts of the essential airport elements: airport site boundaries, runway layout, terminal-building configuration, support-building locations, roadway and rail access, and supporting utility layouts. Airport engineers constantly evaluate new mechanical and computer technologies that might increase throughput of baggage, cargo, and passengers.
